Arizona Wildcats Game Notes
Wildcats forward Henri Veesaar was electric off the bench in his team’s 113-100 win over Arizona State on Tuesday night. In 22 minutes of action, the 7’0” sophomore recorded 22 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks. Veesaar shot 8 of 12 from the field and 2 of 5 from long range in the victory.
Arizona guard Caleb Love stuffed the stat sheet in his club’s win over the Sun Devils on Tuesday. The senior from St. Louis logged 21 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 made three-pointers in 38 minutes of playing time. Love leads the team in scoring this season with 16.4 points per game.
Kansas Jayhawks Game Notes
Jayhawks guard Shakeel Moore is questionable for Saturday’s game due to a foot injury. Moore hasn’t played since February 18th and has missed Kansas’s last 4 games. The senior from Greensboro, NC is averaging 3.8 points per game in 14.4 minutes per contest this year.
Kansas center Hunter Dickinson notched a double-double in his team’s 65-59 loss to Houston on Monday night. In that contest, the 7’2” senior registered 17 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks in 31 minutes. Dickinson is leading the team in scoring with 16.9 points per game this year.

Arizona vs. Kansas CBB Prediction:
This is not one of Bill Self’s great Kansas teams. The 2025 Jayhawks simply do not have the roster talent of some of Self’s teams of years past. That has been borne out on the floor. Kansas hasn’t won three straight games since January 11th. Since that date, the Jayhawks are 7-8 straight up. Kansas is 2-4 straight up since February 15th with losses to Utah and BYU in that stretch.
The Jayhawks are 3-4 ATS when facing ranked opponents and 8-11 ATS in conference games this season. Arizona is a fellow member of the Big XII and ranked #24 in the nation as of this writing. I can’t trust Kansas against a good team in a big spot this season. For that reason, I’m taking Arizona +3.5 at Bovada.lv.
